I just want to put the 'InBox' message (you have PM... and the number) in another bloc than 'User Menu'. For example, in a new center bloc ...

Thank's for that !

Re: How can i put INBOX in other bloc that User Menu ???

you need to create a "php script" block with something similar to the following:

global $xoopsUser;

//Path to Private Messages Page
$pmUrl = XOOPS_URL . '/viewpmsg.php';

//Retrieve # of unread messages
if ($xoopsUser) {
  $pm_handler =& xoops_gethandler('privmessage');
  $criteria = new CriteriaCompo(new Criteria('read_msg', 0));
  $criteria->add(new Criteria('to_userid', $xoopsUser->getVar('uid')));
  $msgcount = $pm_handler->getCount($criteria));
} else {
  $msgcount = 0;
}

//Display the link
if ($msgcount > 0) {
  echo "highlight" href="$pmUrl">Inbox (color:#ff0000; font-weight: bold;">$msgcount)";
} else {
  echo "$pmUrl">Inbox";
}

Is it possible to put something like this into a theme.html? I'm trying to modify a theme to include the normal items of the 'User Menu' in a top menu bar and I would like to be able to include a unread messages count.

I would like my menu bar to look something like this with NO messages:

hello admin | your account | notifications | admin | Inbox | logout

I would like my menu bar to look something like this with SOME messages:

hello admin | your account | notifications | admin | Inbox (3) | logout


Thanks in advance,
Dr3vil

I had this table in one of my themes that I don't use anymore.






| Home | Downloads | Links | User Account | Notifications | Private Messages | Contact Us | Admin | Logout |


You can edit it to add whatever links you want. Just put it where you want it to be seen in your theme.html file.

I had mine at the very top of my theme above the logo and banner section.

I had this in the same theme but it showed under the logo and banner.

Thanks CBlue, I have that part already ('My Account', 'Notification', 'Log out', etc) in my menu.

What I was looking for was some way to display 'Inbox' in the menu when no new messages are there and 'Inbox (3)' if you had 3 waiting private messages.

Thanks,

<{$block.lang_inbox}> (<{$block.new_messages}>)

You can change the color from red to any color. This code will show message numbers if you have messages.

Thanks, I'll try this. Are the variables $block.lang_inbox & $block.new_messages available to the Themes?

Sorry if this seems obvious, I'm still learning xoops.

It should be! Try out the code above and if it doesn't work, you'll know it soon!
